Godard—Burkett
A scene of beauty it was indeed
when on Thursday, January 18th
Miss Valeria: Godard was united
in marriage to Mr Walter Bur¬
kett, at the homo of her mother.
The parlor was most artistically
decorated with [southern smilax
and ferns, white and green being
the color scheme. The bridal
party stood uuder a large canopy
of snowy white with festoons of
the same purity, two ends of
which reached down to stands
covered with white and green and
on which stood candles with
white shades. Tho mantle was
banked with ferns over white and
and lighted with caudles.
At half past two o’clock the
wedding march, under tho skill¬
ful fingers of Mrs Noel Pitts, com¬
menced and two little nieces of
the bride entered from opposite
side 9 of tho room and crossed un¬
der the canopy. Next, in the
sumo manner came Miss Bertha
Godard, sister of the bride, and
Miss Claire Burkett, sister of the
groom, both in dainty white
dresses. Then from one side
came the bride leaning on the
arm of her brother-in-law, Mr
Frank Grant, while from tho
other came the groom with his
cousin, Mr Jeff Tliarpe. The cer¬
emony, by Rev J P Erwin ‘mid
strains of soft sweet music, was
solemnly beautiful. The bride
wore a beautiful dress of whiL,
and carried an exquisito bouquet
of brides roses. Her veil was
fastened with a wreath of orange
blossoms worn by her mother
when she w#s married.
The number of handsome pres-
cuts received show to some extent
the love and esteem in which these
j young people are held,

Now that reprieve is here, {peach cur-1
growers believe that the cool
rent which enmo with today s
sun, has warned hack tho prema¬
ture sap and thus tided the trees
over their crisis.
In response ton telegrom which
Tho Mucon News sent to J II
Baird, manager of the Hale or¬
chard at Fort Valley, otio of the
largest peach orenards in tho
world, Mr Baird wired yesterday
morning as follows:
“As yet there is no injury to the
fruit buds 1 helievu that they
will now stand fifteen or twenty
degrees above zero without se¬
rious harm,”
Mr Baird has twenty years ex¬
perience in fruit growing, during
which time he has successfully'
managed seme of the largest or¬
chards in the world. He knows
tho ups and downs of the business
and his statement may be,regard¬
ed as accurate and authoritative.
Hundreds of Jones county peo¬
ple will receive this information
as joyfully as if it were a bond
certifieatOjforjit assures them that
the peach crop is safe and that
good times are ahead for tho fruit
grower.
Chicago’s seething wheat pit
was never more agitated than
have been the minds of peach
growers for the past week. They
have been watching a slow tre-
m on cl mo us battle on which their
fortunes hang and yet in which
they could take no hand. It has
been a fight between cold' and
heat. Rain and wind and air
•vero the indifferent foes who
clashed and surged while men
were forced to stand helplessly by
a woman at the siege of a city.
Church Want Ada.
The Rev. Walter R. Ferris, pas¬
tor of the First Presbyterian,
church of Middletown, N. J., de¬
vised a novel means of inducing
his flock to attend services in that
city.
Tho Rf;v. Air. Ferris had in¬
serted in tho “want” columns of
each of the three evening news¬
papers the following paid adver¬
tisement :
“WANTED.—Members of the
First Presbyterian church at un¬
ion services afternoons and even¬
ings at the Methodist church.
WALTER R. FERRIS.
The minister paid regular rates
for the advertisement and was
highly gratified to see numbers of
his people at tho services.
Wins Bitf Case.
Col Clias A Glawson, formerly
of this county, but now of Macon,
has just come into public notice
very prominently by his firm win¬
ning a big case in the Supremo
court.
It was one of those Recorder’s
court cases and the supreme court
reversed Judge Feiton, upholding
the position of Judge Speer of (J.
S Circuit Court, that courts with¬
out juries cannot sentence to
chaingong.
The Macon News said:
“The first news of the decision
was received this morning by a
telegram to Pearson’s attorneys,
Glawson end Fowler.
When this became known
Glawson & Fowler’s telephone
began to ring with congratulatory
messages. Telegrams were also
hurried out to United States
trict Attorney Alexander
man, who was associated with
Glawson and Fowler in the fam¬
ous habeas corpus fight and who
has also had charge of the paral-
lei case of Jamison.
